Nah not really. Clio ISNT a turbo car. Wouldnt dream of taking boost too high cause it WILL end up melting a piston or something. As for 330bhp - thats easy money in an Evo or a Pulsar. Most Jap Evos and Pulsars are more in standard that a Turbod valver. 4x4 acceleration too is second to...

Are you talking MK1 16v Turbo or MK2 172/182 turbo? Nicks MK1 1.8 16v Turbo is quick but at the expense of an interior!!

Clio what turbo? Theres at least 4 diferent ways of turboing a clio. (1.8 16v turbo, 172/182 turbo, Clio GTT, Clio 3.0 V6 turbo) Pulsars are VERY fast. If a Clio turbo beat one it wouldnt take much for a Pulsar to come back with more. But they break alot!

I love my car. It comes first but then I dont have a girlfriend or kids, live with parents so why not.

I think you should buy a sh*t metro or something and ram raid the dealership! I got the opposite problem when buying my tubby, I liked it and wanted it but said I would have to find out about insurance first. He was shocked when I said I was only 23! I look nearer 30 probably!

Or buy it and call him a tool. I remember reading that James Beattie went to a Porsche dealership to buy a new 911 Turbo. Dressed in his training gear. Salesman said he wasnt in the right place! Id have gone and taken the money out in cash and said feck you give me another salesman and he...

Could still get a few Fietsa RS Turbos on a J plate too. I think though for the fact the 16v was in production for the time it was shows it was a good car. Id rather have a valver than a 205 GTi even though I hear the handling on the Gti is something else.

Are you getting another car though?

£5 and you can post all you like!

New what? [Edited by Matt16v on 26 January 2005 at 10:22am] Doh! Well done. How much you got and what you wanna get?

Sounds good. Very reasonable price. Is it just head work they do or is it cams and chip as well? Big gain from just head work.

Not to mention if you got two bald tyres and get pulled thats 6 pints - you already have loads dont you?

James Bond can drive without tyres.

Its not gonna have fancy alloy wheels on it. Sleeper car.

I had a lovely 1.4 RT 5 door in Black. 53k Bought it in 1999 it was a 1992 K reg. Paid £3,750 for it. Had it colour coded de-locked, lowered, exhaust, started with 15" rims then went for 17s. Had a sweet sound system as well. (Still got it) So no it wasnt a sh*tter.

Rev 1&2 is 225 bhp at the fly not wheels. Rev 3+ is 245bhp at the fly. Problem is thats on Jap 100+ ron fuel so over here they make less. Mine made 202bhp atf on standard boost (10 psi) (BP Ultimate 97ron fuel) Then made 235 bhp with 14psi (very safe level to run all day hapily) That...

GT is half leather, air con, climate control, folding mirrors, steering fog lamps better stereo (8 speakers) and god knows what else. (Thats what I got) GTS is less equiped. Think it comes with cloth or may be half leather as an upgrade. Look for a rev 3 if you can afford one. With regards...

Always used to feel low in mine but after the 2 it feels like Im in a booster seat. One thing I will say, those seats are still amongst the most comfy Ive ever sat in.

Yeah healthy ones are very fast up to and over 100mph. My clutch is slipping though so kinda forgotten how fast it really is. Getting it done in the next week or so though.

Good stuff. Got my Clio back after 6 months of driving the 2 the other day, felt hideous in comparisson!

I got a rev 2 MR2 Turbo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v361/matt_mr2t/Front.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v361/matt_mr2t/Front.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v361/matt_mr2t/Rear-side.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v361/matt_mr2t/Rear-side.jpg...

I know two people in a Williams that spun at low speed and hit a tree. The car had to be cut in two to get the passenger out. Hed smashed his leg to peices, pelvis, ribs, arms. The driver busted his knee, foot and a few other things. The passenger was in a coma for a few days and hasnt worked...

Didnt think Clios were exactly safe to be in. I could think of better cars to be in when that happens.

Dont BB just shave the pistons to lower the c/r? I know Turboman had custom JE forged pistons made for his valver turbo.

The lines between whats chav and whats not are getting blurred very very fast. Chav: A person of little education that follows a particular dress sense. Simple - repeat that every time some moron suggests your a chav.

Also I have no doubt there will be alot less faults with the Fez. As good as Clios are to drive they are terribly un-reliable. Before people skin me and say theirs has been fine look back at the amount of 182 glitchs in recent months.

Now lower it!

Its so marginal its silly. I have a pipercross induction kit, notice no change to standard appart from a MUCH better noise. It made 136.5 bhp on the rollers so I lost a whole .5bhp due to the induction kit. I have a closed induction on the MR2 but that was already there so cant say what...

£95 for repairs. £100 for the wall I knocked down getting it on the guys drive. £50 for the tow. Gutted about the wall but my dad said its not as bad as Id thought and might t-cut out. Said its scratced the door a bit and a small dent in the bit under than door. Need to buy a new grille and...

As some old skool people may remember my fuel pump packed in at the begining of July. Well I got it back this morning! It seems to have a one off fuel pump, there have also been vars complications so its taken all this time to get it sorted. Now need to tidy her up a bit, Get it MOTd and...
